>I guess someone will recognize it, but it is not documented in Walter's Antique Stanley Tools book. Your photo clearly shows that it is a Stanley, but I cannot make out the patent date, assuming that is what is printed below the company name. The patent date could be useful, as Walter also provides an extensive list of those, and one might match.

>Is it possible that this is part of some other device? The Stanley lettering doesn't look like Stanley tools logo, could it be a Stanley home products part? Maybe a dicer or food grinder bracket, or an ashtray holder...whatever? It happens!
